Because, if that's the case, you've come to the right place.
But, if it somehow comes in contact with the hot engine surface, smoke will form.
Coolant is what controls the temperature of your car's engine.
But, if for some reason it gets exposed to hot external engine parts, white smoke will come out.
And, it is not uncommon for the wiring near the engine to catch fire.
So, if smoke is coming from under the hood, it is likely that the wiring under the hood has caught fire.
Open the hood of your car and try to find out the source of the smoke.
If your car is smoking under the hood but not overheating, it’s a sign of trouble.
